Exact meaning: slightly over my head.

What I'd do in your shoes:

1) lanadmin -x 2 (I belive the error is lan2
Evaulate those settings. Are they what you thing they should be. Unless this is an internal NIc card, you should be running at 100 BasetT full Duplex. Unless you are actually on a 10 BaseT hub or switch.

Note that HP NIC cards are known to need manual settings to deal properly with networks, especially networks involving Cisco switches.

2) Determine exactly what kind of hub or switch you are connected to. If it is configurable it should be set manually to the best perfmance the lan card can handle.

3) If you decide to manually set NIC configuration, here is how its done.

lanadmin -X 2 100FD

That means set lan2 to 100 BaseT full duplex, manual.

These setting can be hardcoded in the configuration files in /etc/rd.config.d/
Which file you use, depends on your machine type and configuration.

hpbtlanconf(rp5450 11.11)
hpgsclanconf (D class GSC NIC cards).

The list goes on.

I have a pretty good handle on what kind of systems I have and what the OS does. I don't have a clue what kind of systems Pete Randall or A.Clay Stephenson has, in spite of the fact that I've had extensive correspondence with Pete, and I read A. Clay's answers with great attention. I doubt there is anyone in ITRC who knows I manage two D(1 retired) boxes and three rp5450 boxes. That is in spite of posting this fact hundreds of times.

You'll get better help if at tthe top of your post you state the system type, in this case the NIC card and the OS. Because though you are a frequent poster, I can't remember what box you are working on.

Hi,

SQE is a toggle switch that I had seen on old AUI MAUs. Unless your hub supports SQE, it should be in off position. Otherwise, the SQE signals from it will be interpreted as errors.

Hmmm... though it's not my fault, I apologize for messing up the thread. Everytime I hit the submit button, I got the timed out response.

Hi,
Steve and Sri are correct, this is a message in the /var/adm/nettl.LOG0* file from the old "built-in" 10Base* driver. Probably on old 700, 800, Txxx or Dxxx system, right?

If this is using the old "AUI" connector, the message is self-explanitory: Turn on "SQE" on the transceiver/Hub.

If this is using the 10BaseT port on the HP box, and NO adapter, its possible the 10Base switch is set for Full Duplex. These units only support half duplex as they were designed well before full duplex was created.

Let us know how things are going and if we helped or not,
